The Ultimate Golf Resort
South Carolina has historically slipped below the radar when it comes to vacation spots. In recent years, this has turned around as excellent resorts have appeared. If golf is your thing, the Kiawah Island Golf Resort will qualify as a slice of heaven.
Walking into the grand lobby of the resort is to step back to a time of elegance, beauty and traditional Southern Charm. From silken chairs to marble facades to a giant fireplace, the entire atmosphere is one that remains you of a grander time and place.
Lest I get carried away, the resort is not all southern charm. The layout is more of a modern platform with the units to the resort being similar to townhomes running down the golf resort. This makes the resort an old world destination with a seamless modern trend.
The meshing of time periods works even if it is somewhat eccentric. This was obviously given serious consideration by the designers. The real find of this resort which was built in 2004, however, is not on the outside of the facilities but on the inside.
What more could you want than a beautiful golf course on the ocean? A top notch spa, of course and the resort definitely has one. From the wraps to the massages to the skin treatments and so on, the menu is long and luxurious.
At the end of the day, it is time to just relax and take it all in. Oh, and get a bit to eat. The resort has a variety of restaurants in the Southern and French style. Seafood is a definite specialty, so give it a try.
The resort is an eccentric, yet charming, mix of the old with just enough of the new. From the restaurants to the epic golf courses to the spa, it has a little of something for everyone and is becoming a very hot destination for the golf vacationers.
Relax on the beach, unwind at the spa, and enjoy the time that you have at the Sanctuary. The world around you may begin to melt away as you bask in that southern sunshine, but that is alright. You are on vacation. Standard rooms at the Sanctuary begin at $400 USD per night.
